I think S7 is one of the few best choices at this moment, if camera and update are important.
Sony Xperia always show high hope for camera, but the results were never better than iPhone, Galaxy S, or LG G.

Thats the thing with Sony. They always put in high MP but it doesnt seem to make it any better.

It's not just MP. TBH, higher MP usually makes things worse (vs lower MP on the same sensor, same lens, and same processing algorithm). I think anything bigger than 10MP is good enough for most users' intention.
Problem is that they always come up with the best lens (Sony G lens is superior than just usual smartphone camera lenses) and best sensor, but the results are always disappointing. A lot of people actually wonder if that is intended so their camera sales are not affected (Sony's camera business is a lot bigger than their mobile business).
Sony itself has the skills, technique and know-how, their cameras have received very positive reviews on performance and image quality for last several years.

I personally love my Nexus 6P, but if you're going from an S7 (a year old and already on its last legs? You must abuse the hell out of your phones) that's not really an upgrade. Pixel is really the only phone out right now that I would consider an upgrade from the S7, in the Android world. Especially if camera + frequent updates are your primary concerns.

Lol...no I take care of my phones..this phone was given to me for free from my friend already beaten up...

I have the Zenfone 3 Max and the Zenwatch 3. I chose the Max phone because battery was most important to me. If you take a lot of pictures, I've read great things about the Zenfone 3 Laser.

The Zenwatch 3 is considered by many (most? all?) to be the best smartwatch on the market currently. It took a bit of tweaking to get it to work right (I think it really matters in which order you install apps like Android Wear and ZenWatch Manager) but now it is working quite nicely. Notifications are great, and the screen is big and clear -- and no "flat tire!"

I haven't taken any pictures yet and I bought it outright. It cost $1085.37 after tax for the 32 Gig Blue Pixel XL

I found one on Kijiji for $750 brand new and sealed but didn't want to risk it getting black listed. The seller told me to pick up at his house in Brampton so I would know where to find him.

I was really torn. I want the 128 gig. I couldn't find it anywhere and I know Google will release the Pixel 2 in October. But I really hate the iPhone and it was getting to me.

After installing apps and music, I only have 14 gigs remaining for storage. I hope it will be enough. I don't use a lot of apps but I would have been more comfortable with 128 gig since 64 is not an option.

I'll let you know after I take a few pictures this afternoon. But everyone is complaining about the Pixel camera. Especially the lense flare.

This is not good then..I was actually looking for 128gb but now that you bought up the issue I might not get it at all..I take a lot of pictures and I am very picky on how the pictures turn out...so far I have been content with the S7...will wait for you to post pics
